Satellite L20: drive does not recognize blank CDs - incorrect function

My CD-RW/DVDR drive works perfectly as a DVD player, but when I insert optical media blank to copy a CD the drive is not automatically recognized by the computer (as it would when a DVD or CD is inserted).

If I go to "my computer" and double click on the D drive and I get an error message saying "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function ".

Hello

This behavior is noticed by many users on various forums, and it is obviously not new. If I understand you right reading CD and DVD is not the problem.

You can create CDs and DVDs using any burning software pre-installed? Does your drive read data self made and CD and DVD movie

  • DVD - RAM drive does not recognize blank CD

    When I check the properties of the DVD-RAM drive before inserting a CD, to the title of the record, I find the check box turn on CD on this drive already ticked. After that I insert a blank CD in the drive, DVD - RAM turns to CD. When I double-click on the CD icon, a warning message appears "D:\is is not accessible. Incorrect function ". When I opened the properties with the blank CD in the drive, I see that the box enable CD recording was erased. Not to mention that the screens of CD Free properties 0, use 0. If I once again re-checkmark the box above then CD resumes its normal operation with Windows built-in CD burning software, but continues to display an incorrect number of bytes in the areas of free / used. I installed on my Roxio Drag-to-Dsc computer. Let me emphasize that my DVD player had performed flawlessly with Roxio installed from the beginning. This problem came only recently. Is it possible to disable Roxio without uninstalling the computer?

    Hi Richard,

    You can check if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Run the next Fixit tool to check the issue.

    Your CD or DVD drive cannot read or write media

    Method 2:

    Step 1: Uninstall and reinstall the Device Manager DVD player. Automatically search for updates to the firmware on the manufacturer's Web site.

    a. click the Start button and then right click on my computer. Click on properties.

    b. click on the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.

    c. now, expand the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click with the right button on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive and click on uninstall.

    d. restart the computer.

    Step 2: Log on to the DVD drive manufacturer's website and install the latest updates from driver\firmware.

    I don't think that there is a way to just disable Roxio. For more help, you can contact Roxio support.

    Drive inside is writable (empty) and have tried with many different brands.

    What could I do to be able to burn CDs? except to get a more reliable brand and replace the drive...

    Thank you!

    Hmm
    You can try to remove the drive from the Device Manager list CD/DVD. Then you can access the registry and could remove the
    UpperFilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    Finally, you can use 3rd party software like Nero to burn for example.

    Hello.

    Just recently, my satellite pro m76e ceased to recognize blank CDs. If I stick a CD it recognizes that it is a CD, but if I click, it throws an error message indicating that "D:\ is not accessible. Incorrect function. "I tried the search for driver updates but couldn't find one, and toshiba sites says you don't need additional drivers for the internal CD drives.

    The drive works fine for everything else. It's just empty CD. Any advice would be welcome.

    Hello

    One question; Why you want to read a blank CD? ?:|
    As you say all the CD and DVD is recognized, but only the blank CD cannot be read.

    Regarding the driversa? ... you're right, the update of the driver is not necessary and is not possible because the Windows operating system uses a clean Microsoft drivers to run the ODD.

    But have you already checked these threads?

    I re - install Xp PRO with all the drivers.

    I have try all the drivers Wireless: Wlan intel + proset intel atheros wlan + wlesscmgr

    I don't understand, can you help me?

    Thank you
    André

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the A110-294 uses the Atheros WLan card and therefore the Atheros Wlan dirver should be the right one.

    You can find the latest driver for Atheros WLan here:

    Just a question;
    You see the local network card in Device Manager? I mean, you should see an Ethernet controller or an unknown device in the network adapters
    The driver is missing, then the device must be marked with a yellow exclamation point

  • External CD drive does not recognize the CD burned on El Capitan.

    Using El Capitan 10.11.5 and an external hard drive, I have burned successfully mp3 files iTunes CD - I can play on the computer itself - but an external CD drive does not recognize, even if the Player recognizes the discs once engraved on Snow Leopard and previous models.  What's wrong? I burn "at the fastest possible speed," as I have always done.

    What CD format?  If you burn it to a CD mp3 this is not very common for a standard CD player to be able to read those.  You may have burnt the other CD audio CD format.

  • Satellite A40: Drive does not read CD but DVD

    Hello

    You sounds of description as the lens of the drive cannot calibrate in the right position.
    Usually before the player will read or write the middle of what the lens must be calibrated.
    In you case the lens can not calibrate and that's why the drive does not recognize the CD.

    Usually in this case, the drive must be replaced.
    But maybe you are a lucky man. Try to clean the lens gently. But be careful

  • Satellite P20 S203 does not recognize my additional 1 GB memory

    Hi all

    My computer (Satellite P20 S203) does not recognize my second Bank of memory (1 GB). I have two banks of memory of 1 GB installed. BIOS reports only 1 GB, Windows reports that 1 GB and my Linux so he says only 1 GB of memory. I removed each Bank of memory and restarted the computer successfully in each of the two slots, No Problem, but when the two banks of memory are inserted, it always uses only 1 GB. My BIOS is on version 2.10:

    BIOS is the PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

    I know it's an old computer (about 10 years), but what could cause such a problem?

    Thanks a lot for any advice or suggestions!

    To me it sounds like that it s a compatibility problem or your computer laptop doesn't support 2 GB.

    If you use two memory modules, you must only use two modules of the same production.

    Hello res04n70, it is possible the CD laser has become defective or even dirty, since you mentioned, he began to act gradually upward. The DVD has a separate laser. This may explain why the DVD works as it should.

    Ypu can consider replacing the DVD drive, because they are pretty cheap now. Some brand DVD players can be purchased for less than $20.00 USD.

    Here a link to NewEgg is where some of these players can be found.

    Just some thoughts.
